During 2024, Tammy Erste, prolife ambassador, spent every third Friday of the month in prayer on the public sidewalk by Planned Parenthood. All prolife people, particularly church representatives, were invited to pray with her in front of the only free-standing abortion facility in Grand Rapids.
This monthly event was a chance to collectively pray for an end to abortion, for the conversion of the workers, and for the mothers and fathers who were considering ending the life of their precious child. This simple act was an opportunity to intercede for the unborn and to change the hearts and minds of the abortion minded.
Erste was motivated to lead others in prayer at Planned Parenthood as a response to the destructive services that they provide.
Planned Parenthood in Grand Rapids offers surgical abortions up to 15 weeks and 6 days, medication abortions (Abortion Pill) up to 12 weeks, emergency contraception (Morning-After Pill) on a walk-in basis, and late-term abortion referrals.
Any woman facing an unplanned pregnancy or suffering from the pain of a past abortion is not alone … a friend is only a phone call or a click away. Life-affirming help is available in Grand Rapids and includes pregnancy services, help with adoption or foster care, housing options, medical assistance, and healing from an abortion experience.
